Facebook’s Billionaire CEO Loves Hunting But Hates Hunters Engaging In Speech

posted on October 12, 2016
** When you buy products through the links on our site, we may earn a commission that supports NRA's mission to protect, preserve and defend the Second Amendment. **

Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire head of Facebook, posted a 30-minute video starring himself on his social media network this week in which he shows himself barbecuing wild game and noting that “things taste doubly better when you’ve hunted the animal yourself,” OutdoorHub reports.

Zuckerberg has said he’s hunted for four or five years now—indeed, in 2011 he shot a bison and proclaimed, "The only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself."

You just have to marvel at the hypocrisy of the elites when the sixth-richest person on the planet can jet off on hunting safaris from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe whenever he wants, yet sees nothing wrong with banning speech on Facebook that has anything to do with the firearms he hunts with or the freedom to own them. Let them eat cake.

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
